Even other Gen3 drives commonly reach 3400. This is the entry point of the range and the 256GB capacity is the reason: fewer NAND dies means less parallelism, and this drive shows it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is still roughly three times faster than any SATA SSD, and it costs very little. For a boot drive in a light machine, that is enough.
